Static Lunges (Body Weight)

Welcome NoN Community,
Before we jump into the "how", we feel it is important to share "why" this exercise is something you should do.
Masterclass.com states that static lunges are good for building core and leg strength, improving balance and coordination.  Harvard Health states that it is a good exercise to improve strength and increase one's ability to perform functional tasks independently like picking something up from the floor or getting up from the floor if you ended up down there.  It is also excellent for improving one's ability to navigate stairs and the curbside.

How to
To perform static lunges, follow these steps:
Starting Position - Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, hands on your hips, or by your sides for balance.
Step Back - Take a big step backward with your left foot, landing on the ball of your left foot and keeping your heel off the ground.
Lunge - Lower your body until your right thigh is parallel to the floor, keeping your torso upright and your right knee aligned with your right ankle. Your left knee should be bent at a 90-degree angle, hovering just above the ground.
Hold - Hold this position for a few seconds, ensuring your front knee doesn't extend past your toes.
Return - Push through your right heel to return to the starting position.
Switch Sides - Repeat the lunge, this time stepping back with your right foot. Alternate between legs for the desired number of reps or time.
Remember to engage your core and keep your chest lifted throughout the exercise. Start with a few reps on each side and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the movement.
